Texas tax law is forever evolving. As such, there are developments tax practitioners may be aware of because they are final and public, and those they may not yet be aware of because they are still pending. This presentation will focus on important cases working their way through the judicial system and some administrative developments that practitioners may yet not be aware of given their pending status and discuss their potential implications.
Key Topics
Important Cases Pending in Texas Courts
Important Pending Administrative Developments
Potential Implications for Tax Practitioners and Taxpayers Associated with these Pending Matters
